Re: Connected...but not really...

Sorry if someone has already answered this, but I haven't been able to
check my mail all weekend, and there are 55 new ones...

This problem is probably from as defaultroute being set up for your
network card. Disable the netcard (ifconfig eth0 down) and then try to
connect. If the problem is not there I would say that it is a defaultroute
being set on the net card. When you log on the Net, linux doesn't delete
the defaultroute and set a new one.

Remidy? Have a look through the net config files and delete the gateway
items.
